Looks like my buggy will come with 2 Reedy bats, one 65c & the other 75c. I am planning on buying 2 new batteries so what is a good mah & 'C' rating to go with? Is there such thing as too high C rating?

Yes, you will want the UM713B arms if you can find them.

In my opinion C rating is a marketing ploy because there is no industry standard. Although I will not buy a 20c battery if I can buy a 40 or higher one.

There us a noticeable difference between the punch of my reedy 65c and my orion 100 especially In stock.

True. I think you will also find resistance to play a part in that feeling as well but we hardly ever see resistance numbers these days.

I would honestly say for track conditions that can change that quickly your better off going rear motor, won't upset the car as much as it would in mid when the track goes away, proper tires will be crucial for any outdoor track. See what the fast guys are running and follow suite.

I used a 1/16 I believe. Just enough to get a 3mm screw in.

I am not running AE wheels but if you have very little thread left to put the nut on you can try these, 1-4045F.

Or you could get different axles. I think Avid sells some.

So this might seem a little overboard but has anyone measured and did the math on the angles the rear toe blocks provide? After googleing right angle trig (because it's been a while) I did the measurements and came up to 2.7* on the toe blocks without the pills. Then I did the measurements on B in/A and came to 3.2*. Technically speaking, what I thought was 3.5* is closer to 3* than the included spec sheet says. Anyone took the time to measure and calculate?

Default Ball end type question

What does running a Medium vs. Large ball end type on the front/rear shock do for handling besides moving the shock collar up and down the shock body for a given ride height? I see Tebo is running L fronts and M rears which is the opposite of what the manual specifies. I presume it has something to do with vertical travel?
